Hi,

I'm using timescale for some cool effects but when I set it to a value between zero and one, everything slows down except my bullets.

Problem is with how lifespan of bullets are calculated, I think. Because no matter how shrinked your time is, bullet's lifespan will be apparently calculated in real-time's time. For example my pistol' bullet's lifespan is 4 seconds but if you shrink time to 0.1, while bullet is still near the player, because the time is so slow in game, bullet will disappear after 4 seconds of real-time time.

since you probably won't update 1.9 anymore and will do a 2.0 version by xmas, what would u suggest to fix it?
